Max-capacity rail cars maxed out by CTA
2009-07-05 19:05:00 As huge throngs of people made their way our of Grant Park Friday night after viewing the fireworks, some Brown Line riders might have done a double take in boarding one of the CTA's three "max-capacity" rail cars. These train cars have most of the seats removed to allow for greater capacity.These rail cars were first broached by then CTA President Ron Huberman at the first CTA Tattler Coffee with Ron more than a year ago. Then last fall the CTA spent about $10,000 per rail car to roll out three test cars. It turns out those max-capacity cars failed the test and plans to expand the pilot were quietly dropped late last year. "The factors were that customers didn't...

And that's where we make our money.??I just watched Maxed Out: Hard Times, Easy Credit and the Era of Predatory Lenders. What a valuable film!

Maxed Out Documentary
2007-08-12 00:31:00 "Maxed Out" is a feature-length documentary about the financial industry, directed by James Scurlock.If I hadn't already sworn off excessive credit card debt, "Maxed Out" would have been the thing to make me do so. The movie is the financial industry's Fahrenheit 911 equivalent.Review"Maxed Out" takes an inside look at the financial industry, revealing the industry's drivers and the effects excessive debt can have on consumers.What "Maxed Out" does very well is showing viewers the cunning and underhanded tactics that credit card companies and debt collectors use to make profits. These companies are portrayed as merciless predators, preying on the unsophisticated, irresponsible, underprivileged, or all of the above.When credit card companies are urged to screen customers who are least likely to pay and more likely to cause bankruptcy losses, the response is "Why would we cut out those people? They're our most profitable."Two mothers talk of their college-aged children, desperate ...

Avoiding Maxed Out Credit Cards
2007-07-15 03:07:00 Hi,This blog is not intended for any readers who pay off their credit cards without exception at the end of each month. For the rest of us, to maintain control over our credit card balances, it is a good idea to avoid the following:1) Consistently charging groceries on a credit card. The reason is that statistics show people purchase food on credit which they otherwise wouldn't purchase if using cash.2) Putting utility bills on a credit card. Utility bills should be part of the monthly fixed expenses and be paid on a cash basis each month.3) Making a car payment with a credit card. There are many reasons for this, but a significant one is that it's a sign that "Peter is being robbed to pay Paul".4) When traveling to places like Las Vegas, many people find it much safer if they leave the majority of their credit cards at home. 5) Avoid using credit cards for large purchases of stock or any other investment vehicles.To maintain a handle on our financial health at all times, it is ne...

New Film: Maxed Out
2007-02-21 05:00:02 A thought-provoking and shocking look into the world of the U.S. credit industry is coming to a theater near you. The film ‘Maxed Out’ goes in detail about America’s addiction to debt - to the sum of $2.4 trillion, which is 1/5 of the total size of the economy. The movie explores one of the prime culprits of the crisis, probably your bank, which regularly lends to those with “less than perfect” credit. If you don’t know, now you know - the banks make a killing off of interest rates, late fees, overdraft charges, etc. That has been their bread and butter for years that has driven profits, while our government (of course) turned the other cheek and relaxed lending laws and did away with most bankruptcy protection. ‘Maxed Out’ hits theaters on March 9 and seems like it will be a very interesting flick. Director James Scurlock does uncover a tragic reality in all of this credit card mess - more and more suicide attempts by people who ...
